East Delta University

Program: BBA, Fall 2019


Course Title: Principles of Management
Course Code: MGT 201

Deadline: 05.12.2019

Purpose: This assignment will provide you an opportunity to examine the impact of effective
management on the overall success of an organization. You will need to utilize resources available
through the library and other sources (including the internet) to obtain information. You will be
required to examine an organization from a variety of points of view with a focus on its leadership,
management style, ethics commitment, strategies and strategy execution. In your paper you should
discuss and identify as many Principles of Management concepts as possible. A minimum of 4
concepts is required. Conclusions should be drawn regarding the effectiveness of the use of the
broad range of management tools and their impact on the success of the company. In class you will
present the summation of your paper as well as your specific, critically thought out conclusions.

Introduction: It has been a belief for many years that the long term success of an organization is
based largely on the quality of its management. Much has been written about the “Search for
Excellence,” “The Quest for Quality,” “The Sustainable Competitive Advantage.” All this research
and all of the studies of the “100 Best Companies,” have eventually focused on the importance of the
quality of management. Nothing seems to have a greater impact on the financial returns,
shareholder value or employee satisfaction than the quality of the organization’s management. Your
challenge is to select a company you can examine from the variety of perspectives covered in this
course. Most specifically, these include POLC, Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling. You
will examine the company you select utilizing a variety of research sources: business publications,
the company’s own external and internal communications, the mass media, etc. From your research,
you will be able to answer the following questions.

Directions: Select a publicly traded Bangladeshi company. Ideally select a company that has had new
management since 2000. Research the top management of the organization, and detail the
strategies that they advocated to help grow the company. As many companies had problems
starting around 2015 – 2019, which led to lay-offs and retrenchment, which may be a good period of
time to focus on how management helped move the company through those difficult economic
years. Examine the critical issues that the organization faced, and detail the strategies employed to
mitigate them. All top managers are not successful. If the company you choose employed strategies
that failed, detail the failure and add analysis as to why it failed and what may have been done to
foster success.
Items that should be discussed with your selected company include:

 Mission and Vision


 Values and Ethics
 Organization structure and culture
 Leadership style and motivational style
 Overall measurements of success for this company

The following questions should be addressed:

1. Who is/are the Top Leader(s) of the company, and under what circumstances did they
become leader?
2. What issues did they face?
3. What are the major strengths of the company?
4. In what ways did Planning, Organizing, Leading & Controlling contribute to the
company’s success (or failure)?
5. What was the most important thing leading to that success (or failure)?
6. What do you see as major challenges facing this company in the next five years?
7. What are your conclusions about the management based on your research?

Requirements:

 The paper should be limited of 10-15 typed pages, using one and a half spaced, 12 point Times
New Roman font. Diagrams and charts are encouraged (ex. Org charts, financials, stock
performance, etc.) but will not be counted towards the page count of the paper.
 There will be 5 team members researching each company. This is a hybrid team/individual
project. Each student should work independently to contribute to the final project. Each
team member should document his/her contributions to the paper. Grades will be
determined by individual effort.
 A discussion of the use of a minimum of 5 Principles of Management Concepts is required.
The more concepts used in the paper the better.
 You should use and document at least five sources. You are encouraged to use as many
library sources as possible. All sources must be appropriately identified in your paper. You
must follow APA rules for documentation of sources and bibliography.
 Teams will be presenting a 20 minute oral review of your paper focusing on a summary of the
company, its management success (or failure) and your individual, well thought out
conclusions
